INTRODUCTION

The BBS Tropical Bryology Group organised an expedition to Mulanje Mountain, Malawi in

June/July 1991, and the results are being published in a series entitled 'British Bryological Society Expedition to Mulanje Mountain, Malawi'.

This document is based on:

O'Shea, B.J. 1993. British Bryological Society Expedition to Mulanje Mountain, Malawi. 2. Checklist of Malawi bryophytes. Journal of Bryology 17: 645-670.

All new moss data published for the country since the publication of the checklist has

being added: the checklist will continue to be updated as more data is published. The

original checklist included 199 mosses and 106 hepatics (total 305), and the present list

includes 268 mosses and 225 hepatics (493). All additions have been made in the style

of the original, imperfect though that was. Where names from the original checklist have

been changed, the original names are shown in the checklist, as well as in the list of

synonyms. All collection numbers without a source and which begin with 'M' are

extracted from the BBS Mulanje publications: further collection details are in papers, and

all the specimens are intended to be lodged at Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh herbarium (E).

SUMMARY

A checklist of all published bryophyte identifications from Malawi to December 2001 is

presented, with synonyms and references. The original list was derived from literature

and unpublished collections, and has been enhanced by collections made by the British

Bryological Society trip to Mulanje Mt., Malawi in 1991, and now totals 268 mosses and

225 hepatics. Distribution information is included, and the species accounts include published references and collection numbers where known.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The original moss list owed a very great deal to Gabriella Kis, whose publications provide

an excellent source of information for the whole of East Africa. Martin Wigginton has

assisted greatly, particularly with the hepatics list, both in providing references and

resolving synonyms. The late Eustace Jones was generous as ever with his help and

information, and thanks are also due to David Long, Tamás Pócs and the late Alan Crundwell for giving details of their unpublished collections.

BRYOLOGICAL EXPLORATION

Collection dates are not always included in publications, but the earliest date published

for a bryophyte collection in Malawi is September 1861 when C.J. Meller

collected Plagiochila heterostipa Steph. (sub. P. dichotoma) on Mount Chiradzulu,

Maganja Range (Jones, 1962, p.310). The specimen is in BM. The earliest moss

collection (also in BM) was in 1883, when Kirk collected Leptodontium viticulosoides

(P.Beauv.)Wijk & Margad. on Zomba Plateau (De Sloover, 1987, p.433). The earliest

date for a Mulanje Mountain collection is 1891, when 6 mosses and 5 liverworts were

collected by Alexander Whyte (Gepp, 1894). Including these, 33 collectors names have

been recorded in published sources together with 3 recent collectors, and 8 additional collectors from the BBS Mulanje Mt. expedition (Table 1).

The collections on which this checklist is based, and the collectors names, are

summarized in Table 1.
